Defiant mum-of-five vows to continue taking kids on term-time holidays despite new government fines
Sep 22, 2024 at 01:16 am
Leanne Bray, from Chelmsley Wood, Solihull, explained that off-peak getaways were a necessity due to her kids' special needs
A defiant mum-of-five has hit back at critics after she flouted new government fines by whisking her children away for a term-time holiday. Leanne Bray, from Chelmsley Wood, Solihull, explained that off-peak getaways were a necessity due to her kids' special needs.
Freshly back in England after jetting off to Benidorm shortly after schools kicked off the autumn term, Leanne's trip breached freshly-tightened rules that have hiked penalties from £60 to £80 for each child, with parents potentially footing the bill twice over.
Undeterred, Leanne confidently said she'll continue to take term-time getaways to protest against what she regards as "outdated" Department for Education policies. Firing back at critics, she insists she has zero remorse about her act of defiance and so far, hasn't been slapped with a fine.
"We've had no fines as of yet, but I'm not holding my breath," she told Birmingham Live. "Sometimes it can take the school a few weeks to catch up. I expect to get a fine, but I will fight it."
Earlier in the year, Leanne had already stood her ground in court when Solihull Council prosecuted her for escaping to Lanzarote during school days in February. The case was one of the driving factors in Leanne's decision to home-school her four youngest children.
Leanne has declared that increased fines won't stop her from taking her kids out of school for holidays, as she said: "I've four children who are home-schooled, and if they get a break then so should my daughter."
